Downloading youtube vids

I flashed TNT's Pro rom and through IE it allowed me to click the link for a youtube video and save it.
I've now flashed mobile vista and lost that feature.
Does anyone know what part of TNT's rom allowed this function? I'd like to load it with any rom I flash since I'm testing many of them to find the one I like.
Thanks in advance.

It's probably the FlashVideoBundle.cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362685

It's a combination of TCPMP and Flashlite. It also installs a 'Video Sites' link in the programs folder.
When you select a video file you are presented with the choice to play or save.
Requirement:
1. TCPMP version 0.72RC1
2. Additional file: FlashVideoBundle.CAB
Further details HERE
You may have to add FLV codec and AAC codecs to play other video formats.
Search for the following files:
TCPMPflvplugin-v0.4.2
ac3.setup.0.66
TCPMP_Master_Codec_Pack_2

Alright, awesome guys. Thanks for the help.

Is this solution compatible with the Hermes?
I tried the files mentioned above on an 8525 running TNT's Pro, and it allows the option to open, save, ext; but then gives me an error code when I hit save.

Host File - Ad Blocking

Haven't seen this posted so here is a hosts file for blocking ads. I removed the block in for CNN ads so the CNN app would still work. This would be for rooted users just extract the "Hosts" file and copy to /system/ect I recommend renaming your exiting file to hosts.bak. I use "Root Explorer" to do this. This will be useful to those who have installed the flash as now we have a boat load of ads.

thanks

There's an app in the market:

Thanks I prefer not to use an app if I don't have to. Will the app work on nonrooted xooms? I think that would be useful to some.
Edit:
Read that it doesn't so kinda pointless if you know how to copy a file.

Adfree has been around for a while and has an advantage over copying files all the time - it updates the host file whenever you need it to.

thanks works great

Thanks guys. Don't forget to hit "THANKS" if I've helped. BTW I use this on my Android phone too (Thanks Calkulin) it goes in the same location.

updated files can be found:

I use ad free and love it. Blocks all ads even websites and updates are provided easily via the app. Again alot easier than having to copy the file every time.

thanks but not sure what you mean by "every time" every time what? I include it in my ROM so its there by default. Those who are using my ROM don't have to use any other ad blocking applications. It takes zero resources or memory. Also works on PCs.

Stupid question. Do we leave it named ZIP, do we rename the extension, or do we unzip it and move the contents? I wondered why CNN stopped working right on my Xoom. Now I know. Great app by the way. Awesome job.

"The More You Know"

[Request Apk] Can someone share the latest Yahoo Messenger Plugin ver. 1.4?

I have done the Market fix several times already and have fixed most of the missing app problems, except the voice and video plugin for yahoo IM. I always get the "requested item could not be found" message when i try to update the app. I cannot run the IM apk without the plugin. Can someone please send me or upload the 1.4 version? Thanks
Also if you must ask i have used other IM apps that allow you to chat etc but have not found one other than the official app that allows you to do voice and video plus send and receive files. Ps. I also used the search bar with no success.

I am having the same problem. It will be great if someone could post the apk file.
Thanks.

Read this and try it, it might for you also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13180340&postcount=162
Remember to do the regular fix after making the changes.

I tried the steps in the thread you pointed out. But that doesn't fix the problem. I posted a reply in that thread and I will quote it here also
vcheenu said:
I tried the fix and it didn't work for me. This is what I did
1. Mounted /system are rw
2. Modified the lines ro.build.fingerprint and ro.product.device
3. Remounted /system are ro
4. Started Android Market and browsed around a bit
5. Chose Settings->Applications->Running Services
6. Under the Running tab I can see 'Market' and 'Google Services' but not 'Google Services Framework'. . I can see it under 'All' tab.
7. I followed rest of the steps instructed in the youtube video rcgabriel pointed out in the initial post.
What should I run to see 'Google Services Framework' under the 'Running' tab? Could that be the reason for the fix not working for me?
Thanks.

I tried both Vegan Gingerbread and GHarmony Gingerbread roms. Is there any rom which I should give a try, where this is known to work?
Thanks.

If you have an android phone download YM with that and then use Bluetooth file transfer also in the market for free on both your gtab and android phone then use that app to send the app from your phone to the gtab..
I would upload the app for you but I don't have my tablet with me to bounce the app from phone to tab to here.

That worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I have attached the yahoo_messenger and plugin apk if someone wanted them.

Glad I could help!

Thanks to you both! Downloaded and it works great!

stock rom
will the posted apk's work on the stock rom? I have version 1.3.2 (both the ym and the video plugin), but the video icon shows up disabled. Is this a newer version? Thanks!

Yes, it is a newer version (1.4).

I had force close errors every time I initiated video. I downloaded your Video apk and it fired up first time. Thanks for posting. Really helped a lot.

[Q] Getting video to work in CNN App for root users?

One of the nicer tablet optimized apps featured in the Market is the CNN for Android app. Unfortunately, for those of us who have rooted our Xooms, for some reason we cannot play video through the app and get a "CNN Video is not available offline. Please connect to a network and try again" message when we try to play video.
Presumably if there is something about rooting that causes this problem, then it is something with a reasonably easy solution. Unfortunately, I have no clue as to what that solution is. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can get video working in this app?

Not sure why its not working for you, but its works find for me rooted with 1.4 cybertronic_p6 kernel..

Yeah, it's working with my own kernels, too (essentially the Moto Stock kernel HR166 with the Tiamat Overclock patches and all the latest upstream stuff).
I can't see how rooting and/or updated kernels could mess with that. Now, your init files (part of the "boot.img" that actually enables root) could be missing something that the video section requires.
Can you play embedded videos from any other source?

Do you have adfree installed? As soon as I uninstalled that, the videos started working again.

Yes I do, I thought that might have been what was causing the problem. I don't want to uninstall AdFree. Any idea which host I can delete from the hosts.txt file created by AdFree to get it working?

[Q] anybody have the new netflix app working?

Downloaded and installed fine on the G-tabrunning vegan-tab 5.1, but then popups keep saying it doesn't support this device every time I actually try to play something. Crap, the hardware should easily be able to run streaming hd video. Hope one of the XDA developers can fix this...

Tried the build.prop fix from nook color forums....no longer get compatible message but it bombs out when u try to play.

All indications are this won't run on Froyo. Anybody running a GB ROM getting Netflix working yet?

It runs and streams content just fine on my stock Incredible running 2.2. And I have the app running on my gTab which is on Vegan 5.1.1, I just can't stream anything. I think its just a matter of Netflix only allowing a certain devices to access their servers and our tablet is not on the list (which is only 5 devices long at the moment).

Sorry for the double post, but I found this fix quoted from Android Police in the Incredible section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13738814&postcount=44
I don't know if it will work on our tablets but it changes the build.prop file to make the device report itself as a HTC G2.

No love with modified prop

No problem. I literally just a few minutes ago got the market working properly on my tablet by modifying the build.prop and I really don't want to mess with that file anymore unless I have to. I want to keep my market working.
But thanks for trying that. I figured it was worth a shot. Someone hopefully will eventually find a work around.

Working great on the Droid x! No luck on the gtab. Running overclocked,on 2.2.
Sent from my UPC300-2.2 using XDA Premium App

Fortunately, my Nexus One is supported. Works fantastic on that. A buddy has the newest MyTouch, won't let him even install it to that. However, both of our Vegan 5.1.1 Gtabs let us install, no go on playing, gives the popup.
Of course, it works on my 3.7" display device, but not on my 10" display... BOO!

Netflix running on my G Tablet
My G-Tablet is running CM 7.0.3 with Pershoot's 2.6.32.39 CM7 Kernel
I sideloaded the Netflix App then moved it to the SD card.
I am running the 10.3 update of Adobe Flash Player (not sure if this is relevant)
I modified 2 lines in my /system/build.prop file as follows
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
REBOOT
Netflix is running smoothly on my G Tablet now.
This is a combination of fixes found in other device forums here on XDA.
I hope this helps!

I tried this on mine. Running Vegan-tab GE with standard kernel. Dumps me back to the queue. I wonder if there's something else I need to change in build.prop?

+1 on editing the build.prop... i can confirm it works... From what i'm reading around on other forums this is only working on gingerbread roms, if at all.. so if your still on a froyo base rom you may not wanna chance screwing up the tablet...
As far as editing it i used File Expert.. turned on the root functions in the app settings... then found the system folder checked it's box hit Menu->More->mount... changed the permissions to read and write... u may have to mount the file the same way too... copied it to the SD card for editing.. changed the required fields.. go back to system folder rename the original build.prop to build.prop.bak so u'll have a backup in case something goes hinky... then copied the edited back into the system folder... reboot...enjoy...
Haven't noticed any adverse effects yet market is good thus far...tegra dedicated apps show up still so I'll take that as a good sign

Another confirmation of working on CM7.0x (I'm still on 7.02).
Installed the app last night, it just allowed me to view the queue after logging in, also saying "This device is not compatible"
I edited the build.prop as described and ran the app and it now streams. SWEET

Same thing happends to me on Vegan Tab GE hope someone figures it out.

Can one of you with a working fix copy and post your build.prop? I want to compare the CM7 build.prop to the vegan-tab and see what's different.

Hmm not working for me.
Running CM7 nightly from 0508 (64 maybe? Not sure)
I sideloaded Netflix
Changed my build.prop as listed above and rebooted.
Loaded up Netflix and didn't get any 'device not supported errors'
I tried to play a video and the screen turns black but the video never plays. If I try to seek to somewhere else in the video netflix will shoot me back to where I was before I started the video.

Second this. I'm so close in Vegan Ginger. Sometimes it'll even play some audio before dumping me back to the queue. Ahhhhhhh!
